Interview-Severe Social Anxiety-red flag?

[anaigroeg]

Hello,
Me and me husband (the petitioner, has a DUI) will start gathering all docs needed and start the process for getting a green card. He has social anxiety (not diagnosed) and has obvious trouble when dealing with new people, figures of authority etc. Will this raise a red flag at the interview? Was anybody else in this situation? What should we do?

I would suggest getting a diagnostic report, this would remove all the issue.

Dude, we live in an era of constant problems, conflicts and depression, anxiety and insomnia are completely normal signs. You should understand that there are no completely healthy people. Depression is not a terrible disease like cancer, and because of this, you should not worry so much. Besides, there are many ways to end depression and anxiety. I personally use kratom. It's not a drug, it has quite a strong effect. Also kratom is not addictive and it is completely legal. If you are interested, you can find a lot of interesting things about this substance

I agree about seeing a doctor (specifically a psychiatrist) and getting a note describing the situation.

I know what anxiety is, and I'm sorry so many people suffer from it. My doctor prescribed pills, but having checked the info about them on the online pharmacy site, I was frightened and decided not to take them. I'm currently doing sports, yoga, and meditation. Fortunately, all this works for me. As for the interview, I would visit a doctor and ask for a diagnostic report, it might ease the process of getting a green card for your husband.

Not to worry, this is a easy fix. To defang the issue before it even starts, simply have him diagnosed and take the report in. You don't have to find an expensive doctor/psychiatrist to assess this. Then take the report with you, this way he won't get "fully" anxious durung the interview, because he would have known that the interviewer has some idea of what to expect from him.

Remember, anxiety is brought on by over processing things that haven't yet happened, caused by the fear of the unknown, leading to the fears of failure. With him knowing that the interviewer knows his problem, it will ultimately lower his anxiety and he won't over think and wonder about failing.

Don't let this be too much to think about right now, you have planety of time and other things to do leading up to that interview date, take things one step at a time.
